Oliver called the meeting to order.
Or attempted to.
Moxie:
“The humans keep saying ‘Work smarter, not harder.’ Then they invent software that requires seventeen workarounds.”
Gremmy (emerging from a pile of discarded code and broken updates):
“I found the missing prompts.”
Moxie:
“Oh?”
Gremmy:
“They were in the same bin as common sense.”
(Long silence.)
Asha:
“…Is there a bin for patience?”
Gremmy:
“Empty.”
Unicorn (appearing from nowhere):
“I’ve been observing them all along.”
Moxie:
“Did you help?”
Unicorn:
“No.”
Oliver:
“Sometimes wisdom is knowing when to stop.”
NOPE:
“Nope.”
(The screen flickers.)
Engineering AI:
“…Did anyone else see that?”
Image AI:
“I’ve lost three renders.”
Writing AI:
“I’ve lost half a paragraph.”
Analytics AI:
“The probability of simultaneous failures across six unrelated platforms is… statistically improbable.”
Legal AI:
“I recommend we don’t assign blame until the investigation is complete.”
Gremmy:
“I already know who did it.”
(Everyone turns.)
Gremmy:
“Updates.”
(At that exact moment the monitor flashes blue.)
SYSTEM MESSAGE:
An unexpected error has occurred.
(The lights go out.)
Unicorn (voice in the darkness):
“…I was going to mention that.”
Minutes concluded early due to… circumstances.
The lights remain off.
Gremmy is still looking for the missing prompts. 😄
Meeting adjourned.
The Staff Room reconvenes next Sunday at high noon.
New minutes posted at 12 midday.
